Shot my 870 Comp for the first time,it was amazing how it broke targets.Without trying to be over dramatic,I have owned K-80 AND P Guns and this gun broke targets as well or if not better than these two.Am I accurate in saying this?Any comments would be great.

Since 870 Comps are hard to find in desirable condition at a reasonable price (..I know, I know, the market "sets" the price...) is a nice 1100 with a wire shell catcher a good alternative? I shoulda bought the 870 Comp I found at the local Cabelas a few years ago for $500. Also, are parts available if I do find one? Meanwhile, got my eye on a good TM-1 "project gun". Just asking... Best Regards, Ed

OldGoat.... Parts, especially piston parts, are nearly non-existant. The most common part required, the "O" ring, cannot be found anywhere. Hardware store "O" rings wear out easily after just a few rounds, and the higher quality commercial "O" rings are no better. I tried them all and none were as durable as the OEM rings. If parts were still available, I would still be shooting the two I owned......

bkt514: No, the 870 Comp is no longer available from Remington....

coconutjoy: The 870 Comp has what is probably the finest, factory produced, long yardage barrel ever, period. For this reason, the 870 Comp has been a strong contender in the meat shoot, Annie Oakley, protector, arenea for many years. There is nothing, in my opinion, that could possibly be done to a factory 870 Comp barrel that will improve it......

I owned one briefly some years back. Was LNIB and had nicely figured walnut stock. Pattern was terrific. I shot it well, but I am my own worst enemy. I traded it shortly for another trap gun. Can't even remember what I traded it for, but I certainly remember letting it go and have regretted it ever since. Wish I had it back.
